val was in the hospital last night/today.
we made a doctor appointment because the last few days, when shes sleeping, she has these episodes where she stops breathing fir a bit
well that was one LONG night, they did a bunch of tests that took until like 10ish (chest xray, glucose test, blood tests, ekg etc) and then i had to sleep on this little chair, then this morning the nurse sees me sleeping on the floor (i fell out of the chair) and tells me the chair PULLS OUT into a bed!!!! that would have been helpful like 6 hours ago ....bleh
well all that and now they think its just her reflux getting worse (but they wont increase or change her meds). the doc said that he thinks her brain is telling her to stop breathing when shes refluxing during the night so she doesnt asperate it, its terrifying but if thats all it is i can deal with it i guess at least it shouldnt be life threatening
however the doc also said there is still a small chance, but a chance non the less, that it could be SEIZURES, so if i notice it happen again and she doesnt breath for more then 20 seconds AND turns blue or pale to call 911 and bring her back in because then it probably IS seizures
so were home and shes happier now, she HATED being attached to all those wires, probably just as much as i hated seeing her attached to them, but hopefully shes ok
i just hate it that they arent even gonna try an eeg or anything to be sure it isnt seizures
so if im not on a lot the next few days or if i dont sound normal thats why
